Efforts continue to clarify the situation of Assel and Landy

Government authorities continue the efforts and work aimed at achieving the greatest possible clarification on the news released since February 17, 2024, referring to the alleged death of our compatriots Dr. Assel Herrera Correa and Dr. Landy Rodríguez Hernández.

 

The information obtained so far, including the sensitive elements provided by the Kenyan government on the occasion of the visit to that country of comrade Esteban Lazo Hernández, in his capacity as Special Envoy and President of the National Assembly of People's Power, does not yet allow us to reach definitive conclusions. The details provided by the Kenyan government, both in the meeting with President William Ruto and in subsequent meetings, were carefully examined.  While they are valuable and help to guide the investigation, there are still questions that need to be answered.

 

Efforts have continued with other governments, including that of the United States, from which precise information has been requested on the events that took place on the date of the alleged facts, and cooperation has been sought from its authorities to provide elements that will help clarify the situation of the Cuban doctors. A response to this request is awaited.

 

Efforts will continue with the necessary persistence and rigor, through direct and indirect channels, and with various interlocutors, without discarding any opportunity to try to get to the whole truth of what happened.
